My mother is suffering from rapid heartbeat. What is the treatment?
We need a diagnosis first. A 12-lead ECG to start or an event monitor/holter may reveal possible atrial fibrillation (likely diagnosis). If so, the treatment may involve blood thinners, rate control medications and possibly rhythm control medications. READ MORE
Can pregnancy cause changes in heartbeat?
The intravascular volume in pregnancy increases significantly resulting in a faster heart rate. Arrhythmias in pregnancy are rare but we do see them sometimes. Wearing a Holter or an event monitor may be a good way to start your evaluation. There are also apps for a smart phone (i.e. Kardia) which may be helpful as well. READ MORE
Are there alternatives to a catheter ablation for atrioventricular reciprocating tachycardia
Digoxin is probably not an ideal first choice. Beta blockers may help or even anti-arrhythmic drugs (but these may have side effects). We do recommend doing an EP study and performing an ablation since it is curative. Complications are rare but they can be serious. Choosing an experience EP lab is a crucial first step. A pediatric electrophysiologist should perform the procedure. READ MORE
